“This guy offended us. He called my country a jungle and said we don’t even have internet. He called our women whores. To say things and then say it’s only promotion doesn’t work. The guy makes jokes about homeless children. We walk in Sao Paulo and see the children in the streets and it’s painful....

“If Chael gets hurt, or decides that he’s not ready for the Wanderlei fight, I’ll throw in my hat. I would love another shot. I have a lot of respect for him. I grew up watching all of his fights in PRIDE. And to fight him, I feel like I didn’t fight a good fight...

“This makes me laugh. The focus always gets put on the wrong person. Why do the UFC guys talk bad about me? Because she’s running from me. I’ve been saying for a long time we can do this fight at 145 or 140, but that’s not an option. But it’s OK for her to fight...

“It should have been done a long time ago. There’s not another sports that accepts it. It’s a joke. For our sport, I don’t want to accuse individuals. Never once have I accused a person. I don’t want to accuse the organization. The problem is the system. One of the reasons why I stopped (fighting)...

“I want to fight them all eventually. People think that I’m saying things, but I’m just replying. There’s been a lot of stuff (said) between Diego, Cub, (and) Cole. In due time I’ll whoop every single one of them; you best believe that.” “This is the fight game we’re in. We’re not here to make...

“I hope that a win over [Nurmagomedov] gives me a chance for the title. I’ve been working hard for that and it will be six wins in a roll. A win over Khabib will be a big step forward. Khabilov is a thought opponent, but the fight against Khabib makes more sense for me… I’m...

Make no ‘Bones’ about it, Daniel Cormier, moved down to the UFC’s light-heavyweight division, solely to earn a title shot. He may have had his wish if Rashad Evans didn’t get injured, resulting in the cancellation of their scheduled bout.

“I’m a little pissed off that our fight was considered bad. I came in here wanting to fight and he was running and not engaging or anything. He was talking a lot of shit before the fight, and I expected him to do something, but instead he didn’t. I did think he was a little...

“It wasn’t about their product, it was about their business model, they had become very astute at selling their product and getting people to buy pay-per-views (PPV) by using free television. When we started, we had no traditional free press. Nobody was covering us, no one took us seriously as a sport. Therefore we had...

“The whole Fight Pass thing was confusing to people. I think we did a bad job of messaging it, not only to our fans, but also to our fighters. I heard Gustafsson said yesterday ‘I’m a little bummed out – I went from PPV to Fight Pass.’ “First of all, the fight is being distributed...
